Catch Click Event on UP icon for SearchView in Android.

Question

I have implemented SearchView on my ListView. When i enter some text in EditText of this search widget, it filters the contents in my list. But if i close this search widget on clicking UP/home icon without clearing the text in EditText, i am still having the filtered list not the complete list.

So i need to catch the event of UP icon for SearchView to clear the text in EditText, or is there some other way for that.

May be, you need to try this one instead of relying on UP icon click event.

menuItem.setOnActionExpandListener(new OnActionExpandListener()
        {

            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionCollapse(MenuItem item)
            {
                // Do something when collapsed

                return true; // Return true to collapse action view
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onMenuItemActionExpand(MenuItem item)
            {
                // Do something when Expanded
                return true;
            }
        });

Do we also have overflow icon click listener? – WISHY Mar 14 '15 at 07:06 — WISHY, Mar 14 '15 at 07:06

This is how you do that.

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch(item.getItemId()){
    // this is item ID of that back part which you want
    case android.R.id.home:
          // Control will come here when back/or app icon is pressed
    break;
    }
    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

Sory, but it doesn't work. I have debugged and control does not even come in `onOptionItemSelected`. May be, the **`UP`** icon associated with this `SearchView` is not as same as the used for UP navigation. – Aleena Sep 09 '14 at 06:26
Thnx @Techfist, found a sound solution. – Aleena Sep 09 '14 at 06:58
